It's already been said @darrengf but what a massive amount of 'improvements'...:smileytongue:

Thanks for posting such a comprehensive list

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

jonsie — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:40:07 GMT

Does this include the reintroduction of the 2G toggle or is it still down to the network?

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

jonsie — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:03:16 GMT

Just had it confirmed that indeed the 2G, 3G and 4G toggle is reintroduced and available on O2

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

jonsie — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:16:15 GMT

Ahh oops sorry! But yes serious issue.... How do I fix this dimmed home screen?!

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

darrengf — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:37:38 GMT

Forgot to mention the 2G, 3G and 4G toggle which do work fine by the way. as I've tested them. I believe Carrier 19.0 is what brought them, not IOS 8.3 as its Carier dependant and not software dependant.

@Cutiekitty992. I'm not sure what you mean, as I don't have a dim home screen on either iPad, iPhone and none of my friends have on their iPhones etc?

Is your brightness turned down?

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:41:27 GMT

It's not to do with my brightness settings, it's generally dimmed and won't return back to how it was before the update. Not sure what to do....

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

darrengf — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:45:35 GMT

Oh right, apart from turning phone off and on, you could also try a hard reboot.

Other than that it's either a restore or a trip to apple

Have you searched on Google to see if other people are having the same issue?

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

I've restarted my phone but nothing, haven't done a plug in or hard reset yet. And I've googled a bunch to find nothing either. Swear I'm always unlucky when it comes to stuff like this!

Re: IOS 8.3 has been released

darrengf — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:52:52 GMT

Oh I'm really sorry

Have a look here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559

It just tells you how to reset the phone using the buttons. Not sure if it will help.

It will however reset the whole phone so please be cautious as you will loose everything etc, so make sure you have a back up.

I've also searched Google and forums and I can't find anything too I'm afraid. Really sorry
